Reconnecting media after frame rate change

Shane Ross wrote a reply ( see below ) to a person that had the same problem as I am now.
I shot with HVX200 using the Firestore that converted footage to 59.94. Then, mid-project I shot with the P2 which shot at 24. I now have 2 diff. frame rates
I tested some clips in Compressor comverting the 24 to 59.94.
Using FCP Studio 2 , I was unable to reconnect the media without the in/out points being off with varying degrees. Doing an entire re-edit will be painful.
QUESTION : Do I really have to convert the 24 to 59.94? Would it significantly affect output?
The codec is the same for all footage. ( DVC PRO HD 720P. )
THANKS!
[elizabeth charles] "My question is, is there anyway to change the files in my timeline to the conformed files without having to begin my editing again?"
Nope.
You did a bad thing. Editing, finishing, then changing the frame rate of your masters. FCP cannot reconnect to media with differing frame rates. Because the duration of the footage is different, and the frame rate is different. The footage has the same amount of frames..., but now they play at a different frame rate, so the duration is different. You'll have to re-edit with the new masters.
But...RECONFORM...that changes the frame rate, as well as the speed in which they play. 30fps conformed to 24fps will play in slight slow motion. If you want the footage to play at a different frame rate, but the same speed...normal speed...you need to use Compressor.

gang allows you to lock the viewer and canvas together so when you move one, the other moves the same amount. To match back your footage, you find a frame with a clear difference from the previous frame, for example when someone blinks. You then find the blink on the new source file in the viewer and then turn on the gang function It's the center thingamagic at the top of the canvas. You then jump around the shot in the canvas and make sure the movement in the viewer matches. you then find the in in the canvas and mark an in in the viewer, etc and replace the shot. If this isn't clear post back.
In compressor in the frame controls panel, you enable frame controls and set the rate conversion to best.

Frame Rate change when importing video into FCP 5

I am importing an HD h264 file into FCP 5. The video when opened in QT shows that it's frame rate is 30fps, what I exported it at. When I Import the file into FCP 5 it changes the frame rate to 29.97fps, which is causing major video/audio syncing issues. Any thoughts on how to stop the frame rate change when importing? I tried changing my system settings and audio/video settings before the import to match the file and it is still picking it up at 29.97, major headache especially since I'm cutting industrial.

yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

Frame rate changes after psd imort

I'm not so experienced in Motion. When i start i use a PAL preset to create a new project. After that i want to import a psd file as project, in order to animate all layers. After that the frame rate has changed in 30 fps! I can't find anything in de user manual about it.
G4 pb 1,67 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 gb ram

You're creating 2 separate projects when you do this - one when you created a project using a PAL preset, then a second time when you imported a PSD file AS a project (this creates a brand-new project using the PSD file, it doesn't import it into the one you already created). The frame rate of a project can't be changed after it's been created.
What you need to do is create a new PAL project, then drag & drop the PSD file from the File Browser into your PAL project, hold there a second and choose "import all layers" from the drop menu, or use the Import command (NOT "Import As Project") to bring your PSD into your project.

Video frame rate change from video to video

HI all ,
when I use labview 2013 I found some strange in acquiring avi video
when I acquire video from my computer the fps change from video to another one
some video fps reach 800 fps and other reach 180 fps what is the problem

A lower frame rate is actually expected behavior if you are playing video through LabVIEW. This KB explains that LabVIEW analyzes the video one frame at a time and keeps it in the system memory on the CPU. This can result in slower frame rates during playback. If you would like to simply view video through your front panel, it may be a good idea to embed Windows Media Player in the VI through an ActiveX control.

Frame snapping on composition frame rate change.

Hello
Just had a thought today for a feature request....
It would be nice if when you brought up comp settings to have a switch to snap keyframes to the nearest whole frame when changing the comp frame rate i.e. from 30fps to 25fps.
Also curious to know if the missing frame for sequences nag is ever going to be fixed in CS6?

It would be the same one mentioned here. Can't remember if it happens in CC, think it was fixed.

Edit, after reading that thread a little further it was fixed in CC but not CS6.

Frame rate changing on import?

I have video shot on a panasonic sdr-h18, the file comes up as a .mod, I use mpeg streamclip to demux it to unscaled m2v and .aiff, all is fine so far. According to mpeg streamclip, both the old and the new file are at 29.97, and quicktime agrees. FCE 3.51 imports it and says it's at 30fps (the sequence & project are 29.97, as are other video materials in the session). This is driving me nuts! Any ideas?

Well, FCE does distinguish between the rates, and it lists videos of both frame rates in the session... and I've encountered sync drifting on edits on I've made on very long imported video in the past (over 45 minute long source material).
I used the unscaled function on streamclip for two reasons:
1. The original video was shot at 704x480, and it will absolutely be cropped and rescaled to an undetermined size later. I erroneously thought the video quality would be better unscaled, but after reading your post I re-imported it via your method and the video quality was noticibly improved. (It was also imported at 29.97 - go figure!)
2. To reduce the files sizes. The .m2v + .aiff files roughly double the file size of the original .mod file, but the .mov file quadruples it! Also, once all the editing is completed, I can easily dump all the .aiff files as they won't be used in the final product (it's a music video)

Frame rate change

Hi,
I've made tween in mc which has normal speed specified by
frame rate. Than button, which should speed up that tween twice. It
works well for simle shapes going thru motion tween. But my symbol
for tween is quite difficult and it seems that this fact brake
faster move. Is it possible precede this braking?
code:
function clipSpeed(){
mc1._currentframe == mc1._totalframes ?
mc1.play() : mc1.nextFrame();
updateAfterEvent();
btn.onRollOver = function(){
speedID = setInterval(clipSpeed,10);
btn.onRollOut = function(){
clearInterval(speedID);
mc1.play();

Batch Capture - Frame rate changes after first clip

Hey everybody,
Working in CS4 on a Mac, and trying to simply batch capture about 35 clips after all have been logged accurately.
I'm using the DVX100A, and shot in 24Pa. So I have set up my sequence settings to DV 23.98 Fps, and 16:9 Progressive.
Upon batch capturing (making sure the capture settings are the same) the first clip is captured at 23.98 and works fine, then every one after that 'captures' at 29.97. I say 'captures' because it says it is captured but when I try and play it in the source monitor Premiere crashes or freezes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks for any input regarding this issue.

Then I changed Recording Setup to 480i/30p...My thoughts were that this would be slowed down a little.
That is an incorrect thought. DV tape runs at 29.97fps always. Even 24p...that runs at 29.97 but has the film like cadence. If you want to shoot slow motion, you need to shoot 720p. That is a 60 frame format. You can shoot 720p24 to get 23.98, then there is a trick to get the camera to shoot 60fps and record it as 24fps. The Barry Green book that comes with the camera explains that. And that is SMOOTH slow motion.
Now the camera ships with a 16GB P2 card. One comes in the box, along with the Barry Green book. Did you not get that? Where did you buy the camera?

How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
Cheers, Greg

Change it back. NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project. Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP. What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
Change it back. Then change the name in FCP.

Frame rate change when transcoding

Hi
I'm actually using Compressor to uprez and transcode clips from a public domain flick. The flick is 24fps. My timeline is 29.97. Should I match 29.97 or does it not really matter?

Frame rate changes when burning?

I've exported a FCP movie and encoded it in Compressor using best 90 min MPEG-2 default setting. It's PAL, 25 FPS and I'm burning a DVD studio pro DVD-project and the setting is the same, PAL, SD etc. But when playing back the DVD I get really high speed motions, looks like 29.97 FPS. Tried to read about all the solutions to problems people have had with this but none fit my problem 100% so I've tried many methods but none works. The thing is when I simulate in DSP I get a good result but after burning it's all high speed motion. Tried on two different Macs and also tried VLC player instead of DVD player, but same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

If your video is now playing at 29.97 fps, then DVD SP must be set to create a NTSC DVD, not a PAL DVD. Check your settings in DVD SP.

Frame rate change on import

I have a Quicktime movie, format 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
H.264, 640 x 480, Millions 30 fps.
When I import this movie into FCP, it imports the soundtrack correctly, correct duration, but the videotrack becomes 10fps and only a third of the video track is imported.
Any ideas?

H.264 isn't a codec that FCP edits well. It isn't designed as an editing codec. You need to convert it to DV/NTSC. Use MPEG STREAMCLIP from www.squared5.com. It's free.

Frame Rate and Codec issues in Premiere CC exports

Here is the breakdown.
My timeline is...
A 24fps HD timeline in a Cineform Codec
My first SD Export was...
Quicktime / NTSC DV 24p preset
Result...
Looks interlaced and squshed in QT Player and claims the file is 29.97fps
Looks interlaced but not squished in Windows Media Player unsure what frame rate it thinks it is.
Looks decent in my Premiere timeline and claims it is indeed 23.97fps
2nd Export I tried HD...Quicktime / HD 720p 24fps preset but changed aspect to 1920x1080 with Animation codec
Result... HD footage sounds fine recognizes the images in the clip if you click through it in the source monitor, but wen rendered from yello to green in the timeline, the video just reads Media Pending.
Really need help with this ASAP. On a harsh deadline. CC is proving to be more truoble that it was worth upgrading from CS4.

We are sending the most uncompressed SD version in 23.97fps for another person to author on their end with the compression that will accomodate the other tracks on the disc and get the best quality. We were told to send a QT file at 23.97 since the original file was a 24.0 fps project (nativly shot on 35mm film) BUT the file we exported at 23.97 to send as a test read as 29.97 outside of Premiere. If I can solve the annomally with the frame rate changing between Premiere and a QT Player window I will be a happy camper. Has anyone had issues with frame rates being messed up on export and not exporting as the setting you set it on?
We are not authoring the final disc at our end.

TC rate changing on round trip

I am sending an aiff audio file to STP from FCP. When I finishing processing the clip and save it and go back to my timeline in FCP, the TC rate has somehow gone to 30 instead of 25. (I am woking in PAL). I noticed because the audio waveform pattern on the clip does not corrispond to the actual audio. This did not occur in the older version of STP. Any ideas? My prefs in STP are all set to 25.

I'm beginning to isolate the problem. Your post in fact gave me other ideas and tests to run to try to hone in on the issue. The audio being sent to STP was a translation so only an aiff audio file. The frequency being 48Khz every step of the way. Out of curiosity I sent a clip that I had digtized from digibeta (10 bit uncompressed with 48 KHz audio) to STP roundtripping as with the audio only clip and it was fine. No problem at all - no change in TC rates. So... I tried with a clip of music downloaded from a professional music library site (wav, 48KHz). I dropped the music onto the timeline and roundtripped thhrough STP. Same Frame rate change as before and green render line up top. Frequency stays constant at 48KHz. So the problem is occuring on audio only clips.
And it is happening only since I upgraded. I went back to a December project with the same types of files which had been round tripped and they are file. I opened them in STP, saved the file and back in FCP the green render line is back and Frame rate is changed.
So there is obviously something that STP is doing to those files automatically.

Frames rates encode to audio files

Hello,
I am not a Soundtrack pro user nor a Final cut pro user, (I use REAPER, and other audio programs); however, I got two people who called me asking (because I am apparently there only audio person they know) "how to change the frame rate on audio already recorded?" One person used the zoom H4N, and the other used a MAudio (?) recorder.. I looked them up and there is no encode to match the frame rate of the film to the sound. It seems that both recorders have no function to do frame rate encoding. (film speed was 24 frames not 30 frames.)
Is there a function to change the audio encode to match the frame rate of the film with in these programs?
What I know is sound is sound; 10 min of footage equals 10 min of audio. It is the encode that tells the film edit tool this is to match 24 frame or 30 frame.
I have looked into the manuals (table of contents) of Final cut pro and Soundtrack pro and not found the key words "Frame rate change to audio files" or "encode to audio files for frame rate"... I also looked online with the words "Frame rate change for Audio files" and "Audio encode frame rate change."
Can anyone help me to pass this information back to these people?
Thank you!

Tell them to change the sample rate to 48khz/16bit. Straight audio does not have a frame rate.
